Starring Mick's (now deceased) sister, Susan Fleetwood, trained at the RADA & respected classical & contemporary stage actress. I was just watching a British Austen adaptation (PERSUASION) the other day from the 1990s, & Susan was in it, playing Lady Russell with a calm center & an empathetic attachment to the protagonist. It was her final role.
I look forward to seeing Fleetwood as the suffering, stoic wife in the Billington adaptation of Ford Madox Ford's THE GOOD SOLDIER, made in the early 1980s. The novel is absolutely central to the cauldron of literary modernism, & has long been one of my three or four favorite novels of the 20th century.
